3.What three hitters are you the most disappointed in this season? Mine are the following:

a.Adley Rutschman – I was worried entering the season since he doesn’t hit the ball that hard, but I heard so many excuses from listeners, I believed them. But, he’s batting .212 with four home runs and 10 RBIs.
i.Remember Matt Weiters?
b.Yordan Alvarez – What the heck happened? .210 batting average and 3 home runs
c.Jordan Walker - .196, 2 home runs and 2 SB. You gotta hand it to the Cards, at least they are playing him. I fear this isn’t going to end well.

4.Noelvi Marte leaves Wednesday’s game with a grade two left oblique strain. Who gets his playing time?

5.There are rumors of Cade Horton getting a start soon for the Cubs. Are you interested?

6.Evan Carter is recalled. Any interest?
